Make that three of us.

And I have one thing to add:  Simply saving the table will
disclose any duplicated declared variable names - the user
won't get far enough to elect to use the syntax checker.

PS - For those who edit/create processing tables using vi,
     my "ck.table" Perl program reports any duplicated
     declared variable names (as well as conflicts between
     array names, alias names and names that are also
     filePro commands).
